'Katy' had somewhat hippie tastes, I was busylistening to the Comsat Angels and Killing Joke etc. - I'd never heard of Gong until she showed me it!<br />The fun of writing my memories now is that it gives me a chance to explain or describe things more - e.g. in my actual diaries I wouldn't have bothered to say that she looked like Kate Bush as there was no 'need' to at this point (but she really did and everyone used to remark on it!)<br />It all seems more fun in retrospect too... thing is I was a lot more angsty then and probably didn't see it the same way I do now!Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02423624920558505937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6075393268513251879.post-74401677124488185582014-02-10T07:53:09.299+00:002014-02-10T07:53:09.299+00:00This is wonderful.

By the way, the irony of rolling a spliff on a Frank Zappa album - Uncle Frank was utterly anti drugs, as I'm sure you know. You've written this so well that I truly believed it was a page from an actual diary. Could never bring myself to keep one myself as I knew I'd just tell myself loads of lies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6075393268513251879.post-44992711341646855342014-02-09T12:32:01.519+00:002014-02-09T12:32:01.519+00:00Hope it gave you a chuckle!Hope it gave you a chuckle!Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02423624920558505937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6075393268513251879.post-36848851993294992492014-02-09T10:05:39.912+00:002014-02-09T10:05:39.912+00:00Great photo!Great photo!Robin Tomenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116331238512699017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6075393268513251879.post-83234364503439835462014-02-08T18:43:52.879+00:002014-02-08T18:43:52.879+00:00Aw Old Pa you flatter me, thank you!

I didn't keep my actual diaries, so I just compiled and condensed the memories, helped by finding the old photo.
